The trail to Black Rock Mountain is a steep and exposed climb that rewards hikers with sweeping summit views. It begins in a burned forest and quickly opens to rocky terrain, ending with a final scramble over loose scree to reach the old stone fire lookout at the top. It’s a tough but scenic ascent, best tackled in good weather with sturdy footwear and trekking poles. The access road can be rough, so a high-clearance vehicle is recommended to reach the trailhead.
